From Love Me Do to Revolution in six years time, unreal how they progressed and reinvented themselves so effortlessly and organically. They are the greatest band of all-time!!
I was just thinking about that riff and it dawned on me that I think I've heard a similar riff or effect in the music of Chuck Berry. And now I'm wondering if I can figure out what Chuck Berry song we would be talking about.
I just went and did a quick listen to the openings of "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven" - there isn't as much distortion on Berry's guitar - but the opening chords on those songs are still a very similar call to attention. I suspect John is lifting a chord from a Chuck Berry song and then distorting the hell out of it to create an even more powerful effect.
@@user-em4wh5ji3w - I found something about Chuck Berry's style of playing employing single notes with double stops - and I'm not exactly sure if that is what Lennon is doing at the beginning of Revolution - but it has to be at least something similar: ruclips.net/video/7WAS-pJaoWA/видео.html
XD I didn't notice George saying that to Paul until I read this comment, then decided to keep my eyes on George, and when I knew he said that, then half-smiled, I was laughing xD
@@gza1976able It takes some deep knowledge to come up with that. Lennon's opening riff is almost identical to that of Pee Wee Crayton. At the same time, I expect that Lennon also knew it. I would guess that he used it as tribute, as they say. Musicians take riffs from one another all the time. I must say that it works perfectly in this Beatles song.
Our beloved, George Harrison, would have turned 78 today. 02/25/43 Liverpool, Lancashire, England The Beatles revolutionized Pop/Rock Music. And they could not have done it without you mate. We miss you..
My personal view is that George was somewhat limited with the songwriting. Probably by Paul & John. Then, in 1970, he releases a triple studio album, "All Things Must Pass". When's the last time an artist released a triple studio album? George obviously had many songs written while with The Beatles...
@@thomasvarady1210 I agree however besides All Things Must Pass his best work like Here Comes the Sun and Guitar Gently Weeps was released under John and Paul's approval. The boys knew quality and audience reception when they saw it.
Matt Mercers Stunt Double Yeah, I just think George had so much more to offer The Beatles, but didn’t really have the “license” to do so for a lack of better explanation...
Yeah this is definitely a bit more primitive than IWTHYH in terms of the chord structure, but it actually has a lot of similarities with it too. IWTHYH is actually pretty heavy for 1963, if they played it through these speakers with these guitars, it would sound just as heavy as Revolution. I think that’s why John liked it so much, it was just a good old fashioned rock and roll number, which is also what he was going for here, I think John intentionally was trying to get back to his roots with the 50s blues-tinged rock n’ roll he loved so much, and he definitely succeeded. I honestly like this performance more than the album versions. Side note and fun fact about IWTHYH, John had said that if the Beatles ever reunited, that’s the one song he for sure wanted to play. It shows that as much as the Beatles’ music changed, John never lost touch with his inner rock n’ roller. Songs like Revolution prove that!
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 "Hand" was a stunning release in late 1963, nothing before had ever sounded like it because of John's rhythm guitar sound. It just blew everything off the radio. I was a kid then and had already been playing guitar a year or so listening to The Beach Boys etc so I really could recognize this was WAY different than anything ever. And brilliant to begin the song with the music from the the bridge ("I can't hide" section).
I think they were virtuoso back in the day, after playing so hard in Germany. But their *image* back then looks kind of juvenile, at least to 2022 eyes. The music stayed great AND they started being themselves
The evolution of the electric guitar tone from 1964-1968 was amazing. Fuzzed out distorted riffs with sustain had been recorded prior to 1964, but confined within the 'underground music' (Pat Hare, John Lee Hooker, Hubert Sumlin etc) of its day. By 1968, the sound was taking over popular music.
What makes this the ultimate protest song is when John Lennon sings “When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out" he immediately off mic also says "IN". 0:34 Most people miss that one word. It's the real human doubt vs the ideal that makes this song next level genius. That is John Lennon.
John says “IN” because he hadn’t made up his mind about joining anything destructive. He doesn’t say it in the final version because he made up his mind, “Don’t you know that you can count me out “.
@@wchambers3849 You may be too young ... but, I'm pretty sure on my original, genuine, White Album, John does, in fact, say "in." Or, somebody says it..Either way. Doesn't matter. I appreciate more today than I did in 1969 -- whenever -- what talented guys they were. Especially George, who I think is underrated. His riffs were perfect for the Beatles, if not of the quality of Clapton or Mick Taylor.

@AbeFroman-zx5hs their music is not a technical competition. Ringo and Keith Moon were friends in the first place, it's very unlikely that Keith Moon didn't admire Ringo and still was friends with him. Ringo created musical arrangements that no other drummer would have imagined, doesn't matter if it's a virtuoso or not
If you are curious, in 1:43, you can see that the camera is in an angle that the mic of George and Paul is in Ringo's mouth and seems like his singing.
Kind of funny how the Beatles and others were advocating peaceful change while less than 10 years earlier, the blockbuster film Spartacus (which portrayed a violent revolt somewhat positively) was released by Hollywood.
@@gent.6302 I had a question about Revolution, which I love the most. I noticed when it first came out that no other artists had a sound that Heavy. Would you agree for during that year?.

@@richardalexander4300 Elvis is the best-seller as a solo artist. If we're talking about both solo and groups, the Beatles are the best-selling artists in music history.
@Hugh Jones It's the same backing track as the single but the vocals are live. It's a unique performance in that it's basically a cross between the single and Revolution 1 from The White Album (which does feature the 'shooby Doo wops').
A FIFTY + year old song with 87,000,000 Ytube views. Just shows how influential these 4 were, are and always will be for rock music...amazing doesn't even come close.
Kenny Thunders True! Watch the movie Cadillac Records. It was the black race that invented music and got it started and Chuck Berry sped things up a bit. Muddy Waters said "blues had a baby and called it Rock N Roll.
Kenny Thunders How do you know that they are the most influential that there will ever be? Are you a time traveller or something. Don’t say things that are stupid like that
@@bluepeng8895 Wings these days are certainly underrated -- they did some great stuff, but I don't think they were better than The Beatles. (McCartney also thinks The Beatles were better.)
Especially relevant with the lines "But when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out." and "But if you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow." The riots and the Communist iconography are exactly what John wants to be separate from.
The Maine Surveyor notice though he says “count me out... in” showing the divisive stance he had. He wanted peace as an end result but he was unsure what was needed to achieve it. He knew a revolution was needed but not what kind
Let’s not compare the times. These are rotten dangerous days with the worse yet to come. Don’t forget back then College age and up had a small worry, a little card in the mailbox. Today?? A breeze.
If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make with anyone anyhow. ...yep, still relevant. Still pertinent. We truly are in the worst timeline.
The fuzz guitars and stucatto chop offs. Never heard better. Incredible arrangement. Eternal wellspring of creativity. Hard to have a favourite Beatle song. Probably this would be a good start
Give you a little BEATLES FUN FACT here that nearly 100% of people miss even though it's right in front of our faces but when JOHN sings "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT" he says"IN" Straight after just listen and watch his lips...Thank you your welcome 👍😵💫
This is nearing the end of 1968 and getting near to the end of the Beatles. George Harrison is still only 25 years old. Goes to show you how young they were and how they did so very much of making great music in such a short amount of time.
Thank you for the context. Had to be 4 or so months prior to the Let It Be sessions. Aside from the references to past music, you don't really get a sense of how rapidly they were pumping out these tunes. I see the year of releases from album discography info, and the rate of their releases is just shocking.
@@yacobz totally agree. What I've really appreciated about their music...is that rarely does any song sound like an earlier one. Fresh sound every time.
I love how at the beginning of the video everyone is just getting into it, but then by the last chorus everyone is feeling the power of the song and getting into it. I love it.
True, McCartney would later state in interviews that during the recording of the so called "White Album", irreconsiliable differences were becoming clear.
Lennon,expressing conflictual feelings about revolutionary zeal ( 68 etc...) , others maybe going 'aye right John'' already gap growing ,brilliant song'/lyric not to be taken lightly
I absolutely love this song. What I find astounding is that between May-1968 and August-1969 (15 months) the Beatles recorded The White Album, Hey Jude/Revolution single(what a single!), Let It Be, and Abbey Road. This period in itself would be an amazing career.
I was 3 when the white album came out. I can't remember but my big brother tells me my favourite song at that time was 'Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey '.
I’ve been listening to the Beatles for like 3 years now, and I haven’t listened to every single one of their songs, so I’m still discovering more of their songs. Today I found this one, and I can not stop listening to it. This song is incredible.
Trust me, I don't think they ever had a bad song on any of their albums. And if you notice how as they made new albums the music changed into another level higher than the previous one. And they did it in such a short time. It's like they had all these lyrics and melodies hidden in their minds and they were just waiting to be let free to sing them. And their songs are so emotional that everyone can relate to them. That's what made them so liked, because it was like they were singing about us. Their songs started out as pretty simple rock and roll songs, and then morphed into something from outer space. Enjoy your journey through the many songs of the Beatles. You'll never get bored.
To be fair, it was likely considered a "double A side" single by EMI and the Beatles. But still, good point. So many examples in their singles. Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, Paperback Writer and Rain. So much great material that even their B sides were A sides in a lot of cases.
In my opinion, I feel Hey Jude hasn't aged well. If it comes on the radio, I'll flip over to something else. But when Revolution comes on I never flip it. It's as powerful now as when I first heard it and I'm old enough, barely, to remember when this was released...it was quite popular...it even reached a lad of 6!
Indeed. For those born since, they have no idea at how much music changed as a result of these four kids. If you left earth in 1960 and returned in 1970, you wouldn't recognize what happened to music. And everything which came after them, including the other greatest bands (Who, Zeppelin, Stones, etc.) would not have existed if not for the groundwork laid by The Beatles. Most musicians of that time, and for many decades afterward (like myself) will tell you they never would have picked up an instrument in the first place if not for The Beatles.
For the record, Ringo’s drumming looks simple and effortless, but keeping the timing like that, with both hands hitting the beat at the same time (including some of the drum fills) it’s really hard. Just an amazing drummer!
@@lunarods5466 Paul McCartney was and is the most productive of all the Beatles, PERIOD !!! He wrote and sang the their biggest hits !! He also, after the Beatles is the most successful of them all. You can fact check the numbers on Google.
NO band can ever hold a candle to these four guys. Four guys that LITERALLY changed the world! Beatles FOREVER! Thank you Working Class Liverpool, UK for giving the world your native sons!
@@Happylink75 McCartney’s scream goes back to the early Beatlemania days, and he’s the best screamer in rock n roll. Yoko’s “screaming,” or whatever you’d call it, sounds like a cat getting its tail slammed in a door.
I’ve always loved this video, it’s timeless. Shows what they could have looked like if had carried on into the 70s as a touring rock band. Untouchable.
And Birthday, I'm Down, Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey, Taxman, The End, to name a few other good examples for harder rock songs (for the time).
Absolutely fantastic!!!I'm french and i say thanks to the Beatles for ever....These are the real words for a real revolution..."You better free your mind instead"..All right!!!!
@@michaelfrazia4569 Google global truth project and read "the Present" to see the truth about life/death. Nothing is more important than checking it is true, especially pgs 1-4
I’m old enough to say I heard it for the first time it played. I was amazed. Hey Jude too. I could even remember the words to Hey Jude the next day. That’s goood music!!!
Yeah. I was twelve years old when this song (on a double-A-side single with "Hey Jude") was released. The Beatles changed their style so frequently and so drastically from 1964 through1970 that every record that was released almost sounded like a new band. Amazing.
My mom was very anti-beatles... But her sister had a couple of their 45s. But I listened to them when I was in junior high and high school. It's good to hear some radical music... 😎
I was born in 1960 and had six older siblings. Mom played classical music on the piano, dad listened to folk music and top 40 radio, most of my older siblings listened to music, some played. I was around music from the day I was born. I started really paying attention to what I was hearing in the summer or fall of 63, around the time I turned three. I was becoming a pretty big music fan already (some people refuse to believe I could have been loving music that early, some say it's impossible, which I find funny). The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan in Feb 64 and one of my brothers bought Meet The Beatles right around then. I was a huge fan right off the bat. I have vague memories of seeing them on Sullivan, but I know I watched them. They just looked so different with that long hair and those suits and boots, and their guitars looked so cool. And they had those British accents. I was too young to understand the newness of their music, of the impact they immediately had on the music scene, but I was a huge fan from then on. As the years went by my siblings bought most of their albums as they came out - Something New, Beatles 65, The Early Beatles, Rubber Soul... They started showing the movies on TV, the cartoon came out. My two sisters and I would play a 'game', we'd say 'let's play Beatles', and we'd pretend we were them, each taking a role. I have so many great memories of listening to their music as I grew up. Back then I didn't understand the progression they were making, but no matter what direction they went in I loved their songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and started learning their songs, which I play and sing to this day. I write this 'essay' occasionally when I watch one of their videos here on RUclips, and I can't help myself from saying all this again and again. I can honestly say my life would not have been the same without The Beatles. There's The Beatles and then everybody else.
You can argue on if they were a rock or pop band all the live long day. In my opinion the Beatles themselves are their own genre. They did everything from pop to metal, to rock, blues, to ballads and show tunes, even children's sing alongs! They helped inspire and create some of the other best bands in the world. They absolutely owned the 60s. They changed the world and music as we know it for the better and I'll always be so grateful. How all four these immensely talented men got together to form this band is something supernatural.
They were pop, according to their era. Pop is not a fixed definition, only what's popular, and being pop doesn't prevent you from being another genre. Sometime in the future, its possible that Death Metal will become the preferred genre of the masses, and then that will be considered as pop.
Krab Borg djenting wasn't a thing in the sixties love. Helter Skelter however does have a very metal-like sound, it was one of the heaviest songs of the 60s in fact and is referenced as a precursor to metal and one of the songs that helped inspire the genre. I want you (she's so heavy) also has certain doom metal undertones in it. You have to keep in mind the historical context. It was the 60s and technically metal wasn't a thing then, but through the Beatles' experimentation they helped create the genre. That's all I mean by it :)
Holy smokes! John's guitar sounds like it's shredding the fabric of space time. Tony Iommi may be the father or architect of heavy metal, but The Beatles did everything first it seems.
@@lisaparsons4124 Listen to the Beatles White Album Revolution 1. It has a totally different beat and you will love it Lisa. The White Album is my favorite Beatles album.
He absolutely killed it with this look!! Probably my favourite George look, love the outfit, It’s literally the antithesis of rock n’roll with that turtleneck,, very stilish and sort of classic look, WHILE they’re playing some hard rock!!

I'm quarantined with Beatles music. This is cool.
Kind of funny how the Beatles and others were advocating peaceful change while less than 10 years earlier, the blockbuster film Spartacus (which portrayed a violent revolt somewhat positively) was released by Hollywood.

@@gent.6302 I had a question about Revolution, which I love the most. I noticed when it first came out that no other artists had a sound that Heavy. Would you agree for during that year?.
After watching Beatles documentary "Get Back" ..I didn't realize how hilariously funny Lennon was, how close John and Paul were, they loved each other. McCartney deserves all his praise. Such a creative genius band.
So funny, bc I said exactly the same thing! I figured him to be merely a pompous tool, but he was such a comedic presence. Made me laugh out loud on a few occasions especially the “get a job cop“ bit.

I absolutely love this song. What I find astounding is that between May-1968 and August-1969 (15 months) the Beatles recorded The White Album, Hey Jude/Revolution single(what a single!), Let It Be, and Abbey Road. This period in itself would be an amazing career.
Hard working lads from Liverpool, The Beatles also used sleep at Abbey Road Studios around this time to get all this brilliant music recorded.
Yes I agree amazing, and awesome group the Beatles,in 1968,I was 2🙂
Have the 45 vinyl Hey Jude on other side Revolution.

I’ve been listening to the Beatles for like 3 years now, and I haven’t listened to every single one of their songs, so I’m still discovering more of their songs. Today I found this one, and I can not stop listening to it. This song is incredible.
Keep listening and digging into Beatles body of work. You will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED!
Enjoy the mind blowing journey.😊
Trust me, I don't think they ever had a bad song on any of their albums. And if you notice how as they made new albums the music changed into another level higher than the previous one. And they did it in such a short time. It's like they had all these lyrics and melodies hidden in their minds and they were just waiting to be let free to sing them. And their songs are so emotional that everyone can relate to them. That's what made them so liked, because it was like they were singing about us. Their songs started out as pretty simple rock and roll songs, and then morphed into something from outer space. Enjoy your journey through the many songs of the Beatles. You'll never get bored.
Yea, they were very creative, a huge range stylistically, keep digging, there's more
That's awesome!!
Most bands would die to be this good. The Beatles released it on the B side.
Bernard Finucane And that was BS . This should’ve been it’s own release
It's was a double A side single. Like Something / Come Together.
To be fair, it was likely considered a "double A side" single by EMI and the Beatles. But still, good point. So many examples in their singles. Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, Paperback Writer and Rain. So much great material that even their B sides were A sides in a lot of cases.
In my opinion, I feel Hey Jude hasn't aged well. If it comes on the radio, I'll flip over to something else. But when Revolution comes on I never flip it. It's as powerful now as when I first heard it and I'm old enough, barely, to remember when this was released...it was quite popular...it even reached a lad of 6!

Never get tired of the Beatles. Very privileged to be around during their time. Their songs will live for ever

Indeed. For those born since, they have no idea at how much music changed as a result of these four kids. If you left earth in 1960 and returned in 1970, you wouldn't recognize what happened to music. And everything which came after them, including the other greatest bands (Who, Zeppelin, Stones, etc.) would not have existed if not for the groundwork laid by The Beatles. Most musicians of that time, and for many decades afterward (like myself) will tell you they never would have picked up an instrument in the first place if not for The Beatles.
i would do anything to see them live but its not possible💔
Yes I agree 💯 a awesome group the Beatles
@Jeremy Spade fortunately, you are in the minority. You should try the Backstreet Boys, more your speed.
For the record, Ringo’s drumming looks simple and effortless, but keeping the timing like that, with both hands hitting the beat at the same time (including some of the drum fills) it’s really hard. Just an amazing drummer!

Yeah. I was twelve years old when this song (on a double-A-side single with "Hey Jude") was released. The Beatles changed their style so frequently and so drastically from 1964 through1970 that every record that was released almost sounded like a new band. Amazing.
Wow! Even now all these years later it still moves me.
It would probaly be the same as when you heard any of them for the first time at any time
My mom was very anti-beatles... But her sister had a couple of their 45s. But I listened to them when I was in junior high and high school. It's good to hear some radical music... 😎
I was born in 1960 and had six older siblings. Mom played classical music on the piano, dad listened to folk music and top 40 radio, most of my older siblings listened to music, some played. I was around music from the day I was born. I started really paying attention to what I was hearing in the summer or fall of 63, around the time I turned three. I was becoming a pretty big music fan already (some people refuse to believe I could have been loving music that early, some say it's impossible, which I find funny). The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan in Feb 64 and one of my brothers bought Meet The Beatles right around then. I was a huge fan right off the bat. I have vague memories of seeing them on Sullivan, but I know I watched them. They just looked so different with that long hair and those suits and boots, and their guitars looked so cool. And they had those British accents. I was too young to understand the newness of their music, of the impact they immediately had on the music scene, but I was a huge fan from then on. As the years went by my siblings bought most of their albums as they came out - Something New, Beatles 65, The Early Beatles, Rubber Soul... They started showing the movies on TV, the cartoon came out. My two sisters and I would play a 'game', we'd say 'let's play Beatles', and we'd pretend we were them, each taking a role. I have so many great memories of listening to their music as I grew up. Back then I didn't understand the progression they were making, but no matter what direction they went in I loved their songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and started learning their songs, which I play and sing to this day. I write this 'essay' occasionally when I watch one of their videos here on RUclips, and I can't help myself from saying all this again and again. I can honestly say my life would not have been the same without The Beatles. There's The Beatles and then everybody else.
The Beatles were an amazing musical miracle.
You can argue on if they were a rock or pop band all the live long day. In my opinion the Beatles themselves are their own genre. They did everything from pop to metal, to rock, blues, to ballads and show tunes, even children's sing alongs! They helped inspire and create some of the other best bands in the world. They absolutely owned the 60s. They changed the world and music as we know it for the better and I'll always be so grateful. How all four these immensely talented men got together to form this band is something supernatural.
I've been listening to them since the beginning. It never gets old. Side two of Abby Road is as good as it gets.
Excellent post
They were pop, according to their era. Pop is not a fixed definition, only what's popular, and being pop doesn't prevent you from being another genre. Sometime in the future, its possible that Death Metal will become the preferred genre of the masses, and then that will be considered as pop.
What do you mean metal? This band doesn't even djent!
Krab Borg djenting wasn't a thing in the sixties love. Helter Skelter however does have a very metal-like sound, it was one of the heaviest songs of the 60s in fact and is referenced as a precursor to metal and one of the songs that helped inspire the genre. I want you (she's so heavy) also has certain doom metal undertones in it. You have to keep in mind the historical context. It was the 60s and technically metal wasn't a thing then, but through the Beatles' experimentation they helped create the genre. That's all I mean by it :)
Holy smokes! John's guitar sounds like it's shredding the fabric of space time. Tony Iommi may be the father or architect of heavy metal, but The Beatles did everything first it seems.
YEP! FIRST FEEDBACK ON RECORD IS THE INTRO TO "I FEEL FINE"
john actually even cut his speaker to get distortion cause it was nt available yet
Sorry, that's "You Really Got Me' by, The Kinks. That was Dave Davies that did that one. Long before.
Alienart I think The Blue Cheer were the first real heavy metal band.
Dave Davies vocals were nowhere near as heavy as, say, Helter Skelter, but yes they were highly innovative. 4 years ago wasn't long before however.
This song is still so relevant. Timeless masterpiece ❤
